If you're running on AWS it's really nice to have everything preconfigured for things like logging to Cloudwatch, and not having to mess around with kernel optimisations.
- make3 9y agoThanks for your answer. However, they do have images with other distros also well preconfigured though don't they?
- slgeorge 9y agoYes they do. Ubuntu considers AWS/GCP to be certified platforms so the server is fully tested on AWS as a hardware platform and there are specific kernel/toolchain/user-space optimisations done to make it run well [0]. The advantage of one of the existing distributions over Amazon Linux is that they are available and tested across multiple clouds, hardware platforms and range of software.
